 I'm not totally sure about this as I have never used the Orinoco gateway
(the equivalent of the airport base station). But from what I understand
they are basically the same thing. Lucent makes both the Orinoco products
and the Apple airport equipment. The only reason I bought the airport base
station over the Orinoco one was price ($500 vs. $300). It might be that the
lack of an external antenna contributes to the lack of range (and
bandwidth), but I have never had a problem with it.
